Happy Birthday Narco
this new forum doesn't have the birthday list that the old forum has - so unless you fess up and/or are on Facebook it will be missed.
WM x 1, DW x 1. I've just woken up.

Morning all xx
Happy Birthday Narc0 xx 🎂
No need to get up early to allow time to get petrol on my way into work- so I was up and on by 6.15!! Heyho. Showered with the new shower head. Wow. Apologised to DS and GF for not changing shower head while they were living here. One of those jobs that I left and left- then it's a 5 minute job to order one and fit it. It happens again and again. Never mind, done now 🙂
I'm wearing the new perfume again. Not spritzed the loo with it though, Fayolle 🤣
I wonder what joys await at work today? Today is going to be a great day- I'm reading a new book. Am I the only one who says it then looks round to see which Fate I've tempted into curveball action?
My bed is made, lunch is packed, I'm showered, dressed and breakfasted. I'll feed the birds and put out the recycling. I returned Barbara's book yesterday so that's no longer lingering on the kitchen worktop.
Have a great day.
Rxx 😘

Happy birthday Narc0 🎂. I hope you have a lovely day. As Ionafan said, it was a lovely dawn chorus and sunrise this morning... I went back to bed at 6am but had a lovely sleep for an hour. Up, dressed, hair washed, DD attended to and now back in bed, I am sneaking in a bowl of cereal.
Drum roll please - I have not only remembered to put a load of towels in the wm, but I have also switched it on to wash. Towels weren’t in greatest need, but I couldn’t face having an ironing pile, so by default the towels won.
Has anyone seen Mademoiselle lately - I might have missed “seeing” her in my own absence.11 -
Good morning!
Happy birthday Narc0 I hope you have a lovely day
The dog has been walked, cat litter tray cleaned and refilled, old insurance cancelled. DH had received emails with new insurance details, so he has taken his car as usual. It is his mum's 91st birthday today, so he will dropping in to see her on his way home, and treating her to a chippy tea. We haven't had a chance to celebrate her 90th yet! Maybe we will manage a garden party in the summer....
The boys are playing nicely with a bowl of dried beans, scoops and pots. Ninja cat is chasing buzzy things in the garden - I think I will make a cup of tea and sort out some snack for the boys. Have a good day everyone!8 -

Kaz, are you able to bring the plants indoors. I did that and mine perked up.
I have done council admin, dailies, hoovered through, walked dogs so that's one site visit out of the way,cut the grass back and front and started getting rid of weeds on the driveway.Spend less now, work less later.9 -
Iona.. the cold water fill won't dissolve the lumps, it's barely enough to wash conditioner down the pipes! .. the tablets are meant to be put straight in the drum to dissolve in the warmed up water.. I use powder.. the tablets and pod things just have too much detergent and it clags up the machine and everything gets crispy.. I use about a dessert spoon of powder.. unless it's really dirty stuff (looks at DS2!!!!) it just needs freshening rather than cleaning. I pour a kettle of boiling water in mine sometimes to try to clear some of the stickiness.OH had pootled off to the gym.. it's busy.. I DON'T CARE!!!!!!
I had 2 cups of tea, sent 2 emails, ignored a phonecall (no caller ID.. could be ANYONE!) I had cereal for lunch and another cuppa.. get me!! Loaded both WM's, hung out 2 wet loads, had a shower so I smell like a princess, I EVEN.... brushed... my... hair!!!!!Getting with the new things, I got new shampoo for my dry aged hair. It smells different, but not unpleasant. It feel SO nice!! it's an SLS free argan oil one.. highly recommended so far. I am waiting to see if my scalp gets crazy itchy but DD2 uses it and she is about as sensitive to everything as I am. I am currently looking for a nice body wash which doesn't make the nethers feel firey or itchy.. I've always used a Lush one.. for about 25 years lol.. and they stopped making it and I am too scared to try a new one.
I've also run out of my Avon stash of moisturiser so need a new one of those too but too scared to try anything new.. last time I did my face turned bright red and swollen for 2 days... then peeled about a week later.. it felt lovely after peeling but that is not the look i was going for.
I need to hang Henrys noonoo out to drain and dry too.. then I can suck up the floor.
I have 2 orders to chase up, one should have been here last week and the other has no tracking info so I shall have to go hunting.We need a Pets @ H0me run later before the fluffers starve so time allowing I may demand a R@nge trip too.. we drive past it's not entirely out of the way. I was going to walk down to Dun£lm (next door to the gym) but the peace is too glorious.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)7 -
Thanks for the love yesterday guys. Not sure where I'd be without you all. Very quick one as I need to walk the dog and chop some wood. Happy birthday Narco xx
Iona - you are wonderful don't let anyone tell you otherwise xx
Fayolle - thinking of you as ever xx
Hugs and spoons to all xx10 -
Having a lazy day, it's 2.30pm and I'm still in pj's, have just eaten my lunch too. Dave is still astounded at how much I can eat on SW, he had a measly sandwich (his words not mine) and I had a huge plate of salad and eggs. I think he may be considering salads...lolHave to do my usual purple toner thingy on my hair, leave it for 30 mins then wash and style as normal, so have figured that into my lazy day.. Thankfully I have the hairdressers in a couple of weeks so at least it'll be recoloured and I can be a bit more greyer 😃Plans for the best part of what's left of the day...* Shower*Wash and stuff with hair*Update SW app*Fill in food book*Update bullet journal*Cook Gousto tea*SW zoom meeting tonightXxxMortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️

Piggers I'm going to tell my BPD support group this, below, they'll all be so happy to know we are all normal and sane...😜 (I don't mean this how it sounds, snippy, just can't convey it properly)
Actually I wish I could deal with it but as it's my Bipolar and BPD that sort of floors me I kind of have to go with the flow, so to speak. I try not to let it rule me, or take over, but sometimes it's too much and I just have to give in and deal with it as best I can without harming myself or causing pain anyone else around me - I basically disappear for a while and sleep a lot..pigpen said:I am starting to think normal and sane IS having mental health issues and it is how we deal with them and acknowledging them and giving them time out of our lives to heal a little before real life drags us back in. The minute we let them win or take over or rule our life that is when we lose control. I have so much control over my head it is life a prison. I am actually scared of myself.Dealing with each day as it is dealt to you is not giving in.. you are floored then you get up again and you fight it off and you do amazingly well given your difficulties.. Some days we need to have that bit of time to fix ourselves, and that is great that society is becoming more accepting of this and we can allow ourselves that time.. Maybe I didn't convey what I meant properly.. I am sorry if I offended. I meant that sometimes we have to allow our minds time to heal like we do our bodies before we can get on with our lives.. but getting on with our lives is important and it is when we stop doing that we start to lose the battle. You have the fight, you battle through every day, I can see it. You have bad days or weeks and you get back up, brush away the dust and keep moving forward.. yes your bad days get very bad but that makes it more inspiring that you still keep moving forwrads. A couple of my offsprung have bipolar diagnoses with other ASD bits as well and I see the struggle. Being there to support, listen or just being there is all I can do. It is hard to see, but harder for those who live it.You are just perfect and we all love you just as you are. And all your friends at groups.. They are all amazing just for getting dressed and going out. Just keep getting up again because we miss you when you're not here. ((hugs))
I hope that makes more sense.. I did try.Mortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️
